Lessons from Esther
I’d love to hear your thoughts on what’s been shared this week from one of my favorite books of the Bible: the book of Esther!
I pray that the nuggets from God’s Word have blessed you with reminders of God’s faithfulness. Stay encouraged, Kayren 🙂
p.s. Please let me know if you’d like to see more content like this, and how frequently…I’m listening, and I’m here to serve YOU!
True Motives Come to Light
Stay encouraged, friends…God is at work!
p.s. I realized too late that I didn’t read my handwriting correctly when designing my graphic – there is no Esther 3:16! <wink> Thanks for giving grace – I pray this week’s posts have been a blessing to you. 🙂 Drop me a comment…
“5 And when Haman saw that Mordecai bowed not, nor did him reverence, then was Haman full of wrath.
6 And he thought scorn to lay hands on Mordecai alone; for they had shewed him the people of Mordecai: wherefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews that were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus, even the people of Mordecai.”
(Esther 3:5-6)
Setup for Deliverance
It’s a setup from the get up – for you AND your people! Expect God’s faithfulness to be manifested on your behalf as you walk in obedience to His Word…
“17 And the king loved Esther above all the women, and she obtained grace and favour in his sight more than all the virgins; so that he set the royal crown upon her head, and made her queen instead of Vashti.
18 Then the king made a great feast unto all his princes and his servants, even Esther’s feast; and he made a release to the provinces, and gave gifts, according to the state of the king.
19 And when the virgins were gathered together the second time, then Mordecai sat in the king’s gate.
20 Esther had not yet shewed her kindred nor her people; as Mordecai had charged her: for Esther did the commandment of Mordecai, like as when she was brought up with him.”
(Esther 2:17-20)
That Plot Won’t Prosper
Who else needed this reminder today? I know I did!!! Stay encouraged, Kayren
“8 And Haman said unto king Ahasuerus, There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the people in all the provinces of thy kingdom; and their laws are diverse from all people; neither keep they the king’s laws: therefore it is not for the king’s profit to suffer them.
9 If it please the king, let it be written that they may be destroyed: and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver to the hands of those that have the charge of the business, to bring it into the king’s treasuries.
10 And the king took his ring from his hand, and gave it unto Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the Jews’ enemy.
11 And the king said unto Haman, The silver is given to thee, the people also, to do with them as it seemeth good to thee.”
(Esther 3:8-11)

The Value of Grace and Favor
For Queen Esther, the king’s favor positioned her to receive the crown.
What are YOU being positioned to receive by God’s grace and favor? Stay alert…you may be moving towards the palace – for GOD’S purpose, honor, and glory!
I’d love to hear how Queen Esther’s example has blessed you – please share a comment!
“And the king loved Esther above all the women, and she obtained grace and favour in his sight more than all the virgins; so that he set the royal crown upon her head, and made her queen instead of Vashti.”

Know Your Value
I experienced a “mic drop moment” when God reminded me that it’s not even a competition when HE calls and chooses you…this is GOOD NEWS!
Esther replaced Vashti as queen.
David replaced Saul as king.
What does God have in store for YOU?
“And the king loved Esther above all the women, and she obtained grace and favour in his sight more than all the virgins; so that he set the royal crown upon her head, and made her queen instead of Vashti.”

Chosen By God
For decades (really!), I have LOVED reading and studying the book of Esther. During my Quiet Time tonight, God revealed some additional nuggets that really spoke to me in my current season. I will share them over the next several days. Please share a comment if these reminders bless you as much as they blessed me…
